| The first true uniform "style" of the Aggies was during on of the finest decades in school history for football. The so-called "Four Horseman" style of helmet was likely leather colored, but sometimes it is believed they painted them orange or gold. One water color photo from this period shows them gold in color, but black and white photos make them appear darker. The dark green "sweater" had leather patches in orange on the chest and sleeves for protection that made up style. Numerals were only located on the back of the uniform at this time, the last uniform style to not have numerals on the front of the jersey. |
| The first uniforms known to show yellow to represent the school's "gold" color appeared in the 1929 uniforms. It was also the first period that an alternate uniform (below right) in 1931 only. The helmets were also gold in color as seen in th picture with the player wearing #27. These uniforms did not last long and were replaced in 1933. |
| The classic style of CSU uniform first appeared in this period with the green jersey, gold numbers and gold pants. The famous criss-cross helmet design was yellow or orange as seen in the water colored photos a left. They still only had one style, wearing these uniforms at home and on the road. This design best defines the CSU uniform for the next 80 years. |
| The "orange-clad Aggies" uniform debuted in 1940 and was ridiculed so badly that different styles were tested before the onset of WWII. It was the first uniform with jersey and pants all one color and not a favorite of anybody according to the newspapers of the day. |
| The first uniform style to feature a solid color jersey and a white jersey. The white was for day games and green for night games. |
| 1951 |
| Ram Horns first appear in 1951 |
| Plastic helmets were introduced in 1950. |
| In 1950 the Colorado A&M Football team featured for the first time plastic helmets rather than leather. Although the uniform style did not change in both 1950 and 1951, the helmets made the biggest difference. It was in 1951 that the Rams horns first appeared on a green helmet. |

| After the 1951 switch to the "bone style" Rams helmets, the Aggie-Rams added stripes on the sleeves and wore several different color combinations. The first all-white uniforms appeared in 1952 and they mixed and matched the colors during this entire period. In 1956 the tradition of white jerseys for road and green for home game began and remains the same today. |
| In 1957 the school name changed to Colorado State University and the Rams designed new helmets and road jerseys for the name change. These are the uniforms that CSU attempted to recreate in 2007 for a throwback game against Cal. |
